Please join us for the 2018 Constant Reader Awards, our fifth edition of the event to rank and determine Stephen King's best book, starting January 16:http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?21314-The-2018-Constant-Reader-Awards-begin-January-16!

We chose 19 stories from 1st edition trade hardback King books including Skeleton Crew, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, Hearts in Atlantis, Everything's Eventual, Just After Sunset, and Bazaar of Bad Dreams. We did not use any stories from Night Shift as the page block is smaller than all of the other books.

The title page and copyright page from each book we used are bound near the back of the book. At the end of the book is an acknowledgement page. There is no Table of Contents. This was done purposefully to encourage the book owner to be somewhat surprised as to what stories are included.

Glenn Chadbourne, Alex McVey and Erin Wells contributed a total of 8 pieces of original art, and one print that are bound in the book. The print is of a piece from Glenn Cadbourne that was too large to bind in the book. The winner of the auction will receive the original unbound piece as a bonus.

stroppygoblin created the 3-D images used for the endpapers and liner of the slipcase as well as the "19" title pages used for each story.

The book itself is bound in custom dyed Italian Goatskin, and has a wonderful texture to it.

Whoa!! I'll tell you what, it's one helluva King collectible. Kinda sums up all our efforts for the fundraiser over the years. King should sign this for the winner. It would acknowledge all the effort, by all the people over the years for the Haven Fund. FWIW

That would push this book north of 5K I bet.
